Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of near-infrared time-resolved spectroscopy (TRS) for the monitoring of post-resuscitation encephalopathy. Cardiac arrest (CA) was induced in pigs by electrical stimuli; then, return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was achieved by direct current. The changes in cerebral oxygenation were analyzed by two methods: (1) the time-independent calculation based on the modified Beer-Lambert law (MBL), and (2) the curve-fitting method based on the photon diffusion theory (DT). The changes in reduced scattering coefficient (μs′) in DT were also calculated. Post-resuscitation encephalopathy was evaluated by MRI findings. During CA, cerebral oxygen saturation (ScO2) decreased to the lowest level, and then gradually increased during the chest compression period. When ROSC was achieved, ScO2 (DT) increased further, but ScO2 (MBL) decreased transiently. This strange phenomenon disappeared when the scalp was peeled off and the probes were directly fixed to the cranial bone. In some cases, a sustained decrease in μs′ was observed several hours after ROSC and, in such cases, MRI Diffusion Enhancement Image (DWI) showed findings suggestive of post-resuscitation encephalopathy. In conclusion, simultaneous monitoring of cerebral oxygenation with MBL and DT may provide more information about the vascular response of different layers. Also, the monitoring of μs′ may help us to recognize the occurrence of post-resuscitation encephalopathy in real time.
